The urlparse library incorrectly accepts a URI which specifies an invalid host identifier. Example: http://www.example.com:/abc Looking at the URI specifications, this is an invalid URI. By definition, you are supposed to specify a "hostport" and a hostport is defined as: https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html hostport host [ : port ] The BNF indicates that : is only valid if a port is also specified. See current behavior; I submit to you that this should generate an exception. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8504f160ff90649890b5a2a82f8028b0

The urlparse library incorrectly accepts a URI which specifies an invalid host identifier.

Example:

Looking at the URI specifications, this is an invalid URI.

By definition, you are supposed to specify a "hostport" and a hostport is defined as:

https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html

hostport
    host [ : port ]

The BNF indicates that : is only valid if a port is also specified.
